International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) Organization delays nuclear fusion machine's operations by at least a decade .
ITER is a massive doughnut-shaped magnetic fusion device called a tokamak.
Tokamaks use magnetic fields to control superheated plasmas in a way that induces nuclear fusion, a reaction by which two or more light nuclei come together to form a new nucleus.
Nuclear fusion is seen as a potentially viable carbon-free energy source, but there are many engineering and economic challenges to overcome to make that a reality.
Tungsten casing for ITER 's tokamak will now be made of tungsten, rather than beryllium.
Nuclear fusion is a worthwhile field for R&D, but it should not be relied upon as the energy source to get humans away from fossil fuels, which drive global warming.
